WOW is so much BS that Japanese ans chinese can use american characters on their user names and we cant. It really bugs me that, we can use Chenese or japanese characters on our User names

Look, being as you're 11 years old I seriously doubt anything I write here will make any sense to you so maybe you should ask your mother whether you should be using the word 'Jap'.
And while you're at it, ask her to buy you a dictionary.

At any rate, using racial slurs is a perfect way to not only get your request denied but make yourself look bigoted and retarded at the same time.

personally I think that the Chinese characters are better than the Japanese kanji (which were originally Chinese characters) there are more Chinese ones than Japanese ones (and I actually studied Japanese so I know what some of them mean as well).
However, the OP has no reason to use foreign characters in his name, just go out an buy a Japanese copy of the game and you will get the kanji and kana----but then you would also need to have the ability to type them on your computer.
gambate!

valid suggestion.
I might remake it if this gets locked.
I reckon it might be cool to have Chinese/Japanese/Taiwanese characters in my name. It's similar to the people who pay to have guilds made for them with the asian character tags.
EDIT: they're also not "american characters". They're from the English language, not the American language.

@OP: Grow up, learn to spell and come back in a few years.
Anyways, bad suggestion. We already have enough stupid (X word X) names without this.

Maybe buy a keyboard with chinese characters on it or just deal with it, the rest of us have.

Well, I as a Chinese player think we Asian should be able to hold the right of using our own characters. I think that's kind of ridiculous that some western guild having some Asian Character Tag. Some of them may have their meanings. Some may just think those characters look cool. I have been asked several times to open a Chinese tag guild. Some of those people say they just want a Chinese "Symbol" tag, despite their meanings. I think those ppl are a little bit silly. I don't want to see everyone running around with meaningless asian name.
I also think we should have a little bit "advantage" coz of our small population in GW.

I don't think the spelling is nearly as atrocious as the use of, or misuse, in this case, of grammar and punctuation.

Well... since people emigrate, and there could be Japanese in other countries, it makes sense, but... have you tried installing the IME, putting the game in Japanese and trying to input a name?
It should allow you that way. If not then it could be chnaged.

Why do people even want these characters? They wont understand what they mean (Most of us anyways) and they'll just go into HA, "********* lfg, HAS AZN CHARZ IN NAMEE!?!>!"
hippo942
No way what if we forget to add someone to friends list and then realise they had a Asian name how are you meant to spell it??
And if this did come in power which i very much doubt it will why should it be just Americans there is a whole continent called Europe try finding it on a map its really not hard.
And its the English launguage not American. Think you really need to start going to school more.

Urgh. There's a very logical explanation. I don't even wanna try whispering someone called xxX ナルト忍者 Xxx. Not that I would get aqquinted with someone called...that.

Judging by the amount of Otaku in Korean districts at the moments, there will probably be more people using Asian characters than actual Asians playing the game. Not to mention the inconveniance of having to guest invite someone using such a name. Yes I'm aware of the use of copy+paste the name on to a template, but it's still an inconveniance because some little kid is ashamed of his European/American heritage. However, I have no issues with the use of numbers in names (even if we will be seeing alot of '<Insert name here> is 1337') which Asians can use.

When your running FoW you really don't have enough time to spell check. By the way people like you guys really destroy the whole "our community is friendly" this forum is just like Word of Watercraft full of people that cant get their anger out and real life and decide to be a B**** online

Next time you want ZEEE AZIAN CHARACTORS or any help at all. Try putting a little effort in. It goes along way.
and btw english not being your first language doesnt jsutify that you write and like ans( and a whole load of other mistakes) due to the fact that you didnt even bother rereading what your wrote.
And i wont sign this because it will be very difficult to invite people to guilds or add them to flists. Since every damn idiot will run around with at least one asian character in their name.

It's quite literally impossible to add a spammer to ignore when they have foreign characters in their name, since we can't type them. Personally I think they should be banned PERIOD for ALL DISTRICTS to shut down the aforementioned spammers.
(Do Not Disturb or Offline are not valid reasons to allow it; they prevent us from communicating with people on our friends list or people we're trying to trade with.)

So, basically, there's no real reason to not implement it, and a few minor reasons why it would be a good thing to add. That leads me to...

Hm... it's true... there's the whispering issue...
They should add an easier way to copy, paste names or whisper to other characters... something like changing the trade button into an Interact button.
Click, and a menu shows:
- Trade
- Invite (if you are the party leader)
- Kick (if you are the party leader)
- Make leader (if you are the party leader)
- Move down in party list (if you are the party leader)
- Move up in party list (if you are the party leader)
- Whisper
- Add to buddy list.
- Ignore
With that, no more 'I can't whisper to that name'.

It's just a totally unnecessary feature to be honest. The only reason I can think of is expat Asians buying games in Western Countries, but in the grand scheme of things being able, or not able to use Asian characters is pretty minor.
I'm sure there's other languages that can't be used. Hebrew, arabic, russian alphabet (although I may be wrong on that one...?) come immediately to mind. Hell, I'd love to have an arabic name, it would look awesome, but what's the point given that it's not my first language and would mean very little to me personally.

As to the OP, I don't see the point, but I also can't see any drawbacks. Would be nice if we could use numbers too, to be honest.

Also, I don't think the OP means World of Warcraft when he says "WOW". I think he's just adding emphasis.
